3.2 Addressing Modes
Addressing modes and effective address calculation methods are shown in table 3.2. When a
location in virtual memory space is accessed (AT in MMUCR = 1), the effective address is
translated into a physical memory address. If multiple virtual memory space systems are selected
(SV in MMUCR = 0), the least significant bit of PTEH is also referenced as the access ASID. For
details, see section 7, Memory Management Unit (MMU).

@Rn+ Effective address is register Rn contents.
A constant is added to Rn after instruction
execution: 1 for a byte operand, 2 for a word
operand, 4 for a longword operand, 8 for a
quadword operand.

Byte:
Rn + 1 → Rn
Word:
Rn + 2 → Rn
Longword:
Rn + 4 → Rn
Quadword:
Rn + 8 → Rn
Register
indirect
with pre-
decrement
@–Rn Effective address is register Rn contents,
decremented by a constant beforehand:
1 for a byte operand, 2 for a word operand,
4 for a longword operand, 8 for a quadword
operand.
